RE: [Springframework-developer] Real OpenSessionInView (only in view)

[James C. <jim...@do...>]

Does that also mean that a new Hibernate session is created if a data access
occurs after the exception? (Think of an app that logs application failures
to a database.)

Also, is the discarding (shutting down) of a session handled by the
transaction manager or some other wrapper? I'm trying to understand if the
discard behavior is the same for checked or unchecked exceptions. Our apps
are set up to throw checked exceptions when we think the application could
recover from the failure. 

In cases where a checked exception is deemed fatal we control rollback
using:
TransactionInterceptor.currentTransactionStatus().setRollbackOnly();
